Take the Covid-19 Lockdown serious:

Coronavirus can infect 140 000 people in Erongo Estelle de Bruyn The total number of projected novel Coronavirus cases for the Erongo region is 140 000. This according to a joint accessment by the Welwitchia Hospital in Walvis Bay and the Swiss-based Lausanne University Hospital.

Of those a total of 28 000 people are feared would be severely affected.

This is not good news.

The way in which we self-quarentine, maintain social distancing and refrain from interaction with our loved ones, friends, neigbours and the providers of essential services in the next days, weeks and maybe months ahead, may determine who lives and who dies in our communities.

This information comes from a press release by the Welwitchia Hospital where concerns are also for the so-called “township-effect” where it is not easy for people to self-isolate as a result of many people occupying the same home, small residential units and people having to move a lot to use ablution and bathroom facilities, fetch water or to go to buy fresh food, as refrigeration capacities are severely limited.

In the same press release it is stated even in highly developed first world countries like Germany the fatality rate is 0.6 per cent, in Switzerland, Portugal and South Korea it is 1.4 per cent and in Italy 10.1 per cent. So much more reason for developing countries and under-developed countries to take

One of Swakopmund's best known butcheries, Namaqua Meat Market, closed its doors at 13:00 on Wednesday for the duration of the lockdown.

The owner, Mr Maritz van Niekerk, said this decision was taken to adhere to government regulations and to for the protection of employees.

He however gave the assurance that Namaqua Meat Market will continue to distribute meat to supermarkets. He also does not foresee any shortages of meat or meat products in the foreseeable future.

“The abattoirs are still slaughtering and whether they continue will depend on future government directives.

Meanwhile, concerns were raised yesterday over the situation in Walvis Bay's Kuisebmond suburb where people said on Wednesday and yesterday: “it is still business as usual” and that there is not orderly police presence. “People are still crowding. We want the Police to deploy in smaller, yet more teams to assist with the flow of people and to get people to stay home and only venture into public areas if they need to purchase food or medicine as per the regulations”, a businessman said.

spread, the deeper and longer the economic contraction and social hardships.

“In response to these unprecedented economic hardships the Government, in collaboration with all stakeholders; private, Development Partners and other non-state actors, has adopted the First Phase of the Economic Stimulus and Relief Package geared at addressing the negative effects arising from the first 21-day lockdown period,” Shiimi said.

The Package is directed at formal and informal businesses in sectors which are directly affected by the lockdown measures as well as households and the related labour market aspects such as job retention to mitigate the negative impact on income.

“With this package of measures now being rolled out, I call on the business community and employers to avoid laying off workers at this point in time. This is an exceptional, crisis-related and temporary period for which stern efforts are required from all employers and the Government,” Shiimi added.

Specific elements of the Economic Relief and Stimulus Package: ·Economic sectors hardest hit by the lockdown especially tourism, travel and aviation will receive wage subsidies. N$400 million is set aside for this intervention. ·N$3 billion is allocated for repayment of overdue and undisputed VAT refunds. ·N$800 million will go towards paying outstanding invoices for goods and services delivered to government. ·Government will facilitate a N$500 million loan scheme for non-agricultural small businesses. ·A further N$200 million loan scheme for farmers and agricultural businesses was also announced. ·To provide breathing room for cashflow-constrained businesses in the nonmining sectors who are taxpayers, such businesses can borrow an amount equal to 1/12th of their tax payment in the previous tax year. ·To avoid major retrenchments and business closures, employers including Government and business owners will be allowed to negotiate a temporary 20% reduction of salaries and wages during the crisis period, and 40% for the worsthit industries. ·An Emergency Income Grant, to support those employees who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic and its fallout. This is a once-off payment of N$750 to people who have lost their jobs, either in the informal or in the formal sector. The total amount for this measure is N$562.00 million. ·To provide breathing room for cash flow constrained individuals who are taxpayers, they can borrow an amount equal to 1/12th of their tax payment in the previous tax year, to be repaid after one year. ·Government will ensure that water points are kept open without a need for water cards during lockdowns. This amount is estimated at about N$10.0 million.

309 people tested for the novel Coronavirus Estelle de Bruyn The Minister of Health and Social Services, Dr Kalumbi Shangula, announced yesterday that a total of 306 people have been tested for possible infection with the novel Coronavirus (Covid-19).

That is amidst the country's thirteenth Covid-19 infection now confirmed. The youngest victim is a nine months old baby. Namibia has been spared Covid-19 deaths.

The Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP) were assigned 150 cases and PathCare the additional 156. PathCare sent the samples to South Africa to be tested. Of all the samples submitted 265 have been tested, 111 by NIP and 154

by PathCare.

As of Wednesday morning 1 April, 22 samples were collected for testing.

Three of these sample tests were inconclusive and the testing will be repeated; 19 tested negative and zero tested positive.

Shangula also shed light on the procedure for foreign truck drivers entering to country to bring imported items into the Namibia.

At border posts customs and immigration officials carry out enhanced checks while public health officials do medical screenings. A proof of clearance is then issued that the drivers can show to law enforcement officers.

When the truck drivers arrive at their destinations, they have to inform the local public health officials. Truck owners have to arrange for quarantine for the drivers while they are on Namibian soil. Public Health Officials with the help of the police ensure compliance with the quarantine.

Shangula also thanked private health providers for their cooperation with government health services. He also paid special tribute to the dedicated service of public health workers in these challenging times.

Shangula also warned against what he called the “infodemic of fake news” and cautioned to nation to be wary of it.

He said this only causes “angst and panic” and that it undermines the work of health workers.

Meat supplies

“We get our meat from the south of the country and as food provision is considered an essential service, there are no problems transporting the meat to the Erongo region,” Van Niekerk said.

In the meantime Meatco announced that after the Agricultural value chain had been declared an essential service through a Proclamation and consultations with its line Ministries, namely, the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land reform and the Ministry Public Enterprises, Meatco's Management, reconsidered the re-opening date of its abattoir. Robust measures have been put in place to safeguard staff safety.

“In view of the aforementioned declaration of agriculture as an essential service, Meatco reciprocally re-considered its initial decision to suspend slaughters for 21-days which is aimed at mitigating potential risks across the business. As a result, our abattoir will be opening for normal business on Monday, 6 April, and not on 20 April as per our earlier communiqué .

“Slaughtering will resume on Wednesday, 8 April and will be maintained subject to any directives and laws that may be passed from time to time by the Government,” Rosa Hamukuaja-Thobias, Manager: Corporate Affairs said in a statement.

Thoughts on the lockdown

Kevin Britz (A grade 8 Pupil at Swakopmund Secondary School): “This lock down, especially for us the learners is like living in a prison. I love school and I miss my friends. This does not only affect our education but also our physical well-being.

We cannot even play soccer in the street. If we do so the armed forces chase us away. It is very stressful to stay in the house, especially when you have nothing to do in the house. I do not have a smartphone and do not even have access to the internet which is keeping people busy these days.

All in all, I am happy to see that my street is quiet and everyone is adhering to the rules put in place by our President. I am worried though about school.

How are we going to continue should this virus not stop spreading? Are we going to repeat our grades? We are worried and scared about our future as learners.

Luckily we are not panicking and hope for the best�.

Editor's Note: Remember you are not confined to indoors. You are allowed to play outside as long as it is on your yard. What about lending some help to your parents with tasks around the house to get some fresh air and sunshine?

Not exactly what one expects to catch. This vehicle with several fishing rods aboard was seen parked in front of the Walvis Bay police station yesterday around noon. Next to it a patrol vehicle with several members of the NDF aboard.

The driver of this vehicle is in hot water, as he or she [unknown] was underway to catch fish amidst the lockdown.

There seems to be a misunderstanding that fishing is allowed. Only exercise is allowed. Fishing counts as a recreational activity. Recreational activities are only allowed at your place of residence. Be a bit creative and in doing so stay out of trouble.

Covid-19 field hospital at the coast Rudi Bowe

The Covid-19 field hospital that is under construction on the premises of the Walvis Bay state hospital will cater for only 75 beds and not the initially planned 150 beds.

The field hospital is a joint venture between the privateand the public sector and will serve as a frontline medical intervention should a Coronavirus outbreak hit the Eron-

go Region (also see front page article).

The initial idea for the construction of the field hospital comes from the recently elected regional councillor for the Walvis Bay Urban Consti-

tuency, Clr Knowledge Ipinge who is working with the regional council, the Walvis Bay local authority, the Welwitschia Hospital, the ministry of health and social services and the

ministry of works and transport to get the project fully established in 21 days. Clr. Ipinge is tasked with the Covid-19 response coordination in the region and serves as Chairperson

of the Disaster Risk Management Committee for Walvis Bay. Close by is a drone picture showing how earthworks progressed in a matter of only days.

The first containers which will house the necessary medical infrastructure is due to arrive in due course.

The containers are hygienically cleaned, are cladded in the inside with panelling and is no different than any conventional hospital ward.

"In my capacity as the Chairperson of the Disaster Risk Management Committee for Walvis Bay Urban Constituency, I deci-

ded to put aside our political differences and to heed to the call of the Governor of Erongo Region, Cleophas Mutjavikua, to rather split the COVID-19 emergency medical facility into two 75-bed facilities for both Walvis Bay and Swakopmund," said Ipinge.

Ipinge added the time cannot be more ready than now for publicprivate-partnership (PPP's) to fight the Covid-19 threat as one nation.

“It is our country's most viable solution.

As things stand now such ppp's will facilitate the moving of resources and assets between health care

facilities and ensure the nation's preparedness, readiness and response actions”, he explained.

“Political leaders should provide guidance and provide advice to the national g o v e r n m e n t . We have a Disaster Risk Management Act in place. Let this legislation, Ipinge added.

Note: the construcion phase of the field hospital will only commence once the necessary official approval has been obtained the head office of the Ministry of Health and Social Services and the COVID-19 National Committee.

Smaller, yet more police teams deployed to fixed points an option A businessman urges the Namibian Police to deploy smaller, yet more teams to hotspots like supermarkets, pharmacies and other essential businesses to guide people into safer public conduct to ensure social distancing and for people to only move around when they need to shop for food, hygiene products and medicines. These scenes were yesterday at various spots around Kuisebmond in Walvis Bay.

Chinese fishing vessels cleared of fish poaching allegations The commander of the Namibian Navy, Rear Admiral S.N.B. Nghipandua, confirmed during a press briefing in Walvis Bay on Wednesday no evidence could be found that the six Chinese fishing vessels intercepted off the Namibian coast on 27 March were involved in illegal fishing activities in Namibian territorial water. Commander Nghipandua said the six vessels could lift anchor and proceed with their voyage to China. Residents of Langstrand, Dolphin Beach and Afrodite Beach could see the vessels at anchor in the bay since last Friday with two navy vessels staying close-by.

These six fishing boats are now off the suspect list of pirate fishing boats exploiting Namibia's fish resources illegally, but an investigation into the incident did reveal a few discrepancies which the Chinese Embassy in Windhoek could take up with Beijing, seeing that the fishing company, Zhenyuanyu, to which these vessels belong are jointly owned by the Chinese state and by private shareholders.

Firstly, the vessels' names appear in too small lettering on the hulls [less than one meter in height] thereby making it difficult and often impossible to read from a distance. That is, according to Rear Admiral Nghipandua, inconsistent with international maritime law.

Furthermore, the vessels bear no call-sign numbers and the fish catching records show catches were made in Angola.

The vessels [it is claimed] departed Equatorial Guinea on 15 March, en route to China. Despite this no records of fishing in Equatorial Guinea and some of the crew's passports were not stamped in all the countries the vessels claimed to be, according to the statement made by the Navy.

On 23 March 2020 Chinese fishing vessels,

assumed to be four but later confirmed six [the Chinese Embassy says eight vessels] in number entered Namibia's Maritime Contiguous Zone through our northern maritime border, executing what the Navy described as suspicious passage movements.

That entailed slowing speed and switching off Automatic Identification Systems (AIS).

The vessels on 25 March at around 16:00 changed course towards land and stationed 15 nautical miles off Henties Bay. According to the Navy the area is a well-known fishing spot.

According to the statement by Rear Admiral Nghipandua, on 26 March after consultations with various stakeholders a task force comprising two Namibian Navy vessels departed Walvis Bay and intercepted the Chinese fishing vessels.

Upon arrival the task force established it to be six vessels and not four as data showed originally. The reason was two of the vessels' AIS were switched off. What made the matter confusing were the vessels all bore the same name, Zhenyuanyu, but each vessel had a unique number following the name Zhenyuanyu.

These numbers were respectively 805, 806,

809, 810, 818 and 821.

For each vessel there was a unique number that followed the word Zhenyuanyu.

Neither of the vessels displayed an IMO (International Maritime Organisation) number and none displayed a callsign number.

At first there were problems for the Navy to communicate with the crews of the fishing vessels over the radio. Only when the Namibian Navy used Mandarin, the crews replied. The Chinese vessels indicated they were not in the area to fish but was en route to China from Equatorial Guinea, but encountered rough seas and moved closer to shore.

The Navy task force became suspicious about

the weather explanation and ordered the vessels to sail for Walvis Bay under escort. The Chinese vessels initially refused, but after what Rear Admiral Nghipandua described as “coercive diplomacy” [let leave it there], the vessels complied.

At Walvis Bay the vessels dropped anchor in a cluster in the bay.

They were boarded and inspected by various line authorities. The fishing gear showed no signs of recent use.

However, the other discrepancies were set out regarding the display of the vessel names, AIS's switched off, no IMOnumbers and no callsigns.

The Navy yesterday said it releases the ves-

sels to continue the passage to China as the matter of illegal fishing was the only aspect within its mandate to enforce.

The Chinese Embassy in Windhoek was fast recently to challenge the Namibian public about allegations of illegal fishing. The Chinese said provided the Namibian authorities with the relevant information that shows these vessels were not involved in illegal fishing in Namibian territorial water.

The Embassy of China however, to date have not come out publicly over why these vessels are not meeting legal requirements set out by international maritime law and the International Maritime Organisation.

Fishing and surfing is recreation not exercise - “end of the debate” Residents of the coast have been asking questions since the lockdown started last Friday as to why they are not allowed to go to the beach to catch fish, to serve or to enjoy the day alone or with their few family members.

A senior police officer gave a simple way for people to understand it. In the regulations, guiding the current measures in place to manage the State of Emergency against the spread of the Coronavirus provision is made for people to go outside their places of residence to exercise. At the same time persons going outside for exercise may not be crowding to places like the lagoon at Walvis Bay, the beach etc, as crowding means compromising social distancing. Thererfore you exercise by walking or running around the block or even two blocks.

Angling, surfing, going to the beach to enjoy a day in the sun and surf is recreation - not exercise. The regulations is clear - exercise. No reference to recreation. Recreation must be done at your place of residence. “This is the end of this debate. We urge people to take this lockdown and rules serious and stay at home.

Specific elements of the Economic Relief and Stimulus Package Relief Measures for the business sector · Wage subsidy for extended to cash flow hardest hit sectors. To avoid further retrenchments in the hardest-hit sectors, Government will provide a wage subsidy to aid businesses in keeping employees on board in the tourism, travel and aviation and construction sectors.

Details will vary between sectors.

Government is setting N$400 million aside for this subsidy. · Accelerated repayment of overdue and undisputed VAT refunds. The total amount of the refunds to settled within one week of the implementation of these measures stands about N$3.0 billion. · Accelerated payment of overdue and undisputed invoices for goods and services provided to Government. This amount stands at about N$800 million. · Non-agricultural Small business loan scheme. Government will facilitate a N$500 million loan scheme for non-agricultural small businesses and guaranteeing such loans to be provided by the Development Bank of Namibia.

The loans will be

constrained small businesses that have experienced a significant loss of revenue. · Agricultural business loan scheme. Government will further facilitate a N$200 million loan scheme for farmers and agricultural businesses and guaranteeing such loans to be provided by the Agricultural Bank of Namibia. · Granting of the policy relief to borrowers by DBN and AgriBank in the form of a capital repayment moratorium where a holiday is allowed on the principal amount for a period ranging between six (6) months, but not exceeding two years (24 months) based on assessment, recapitalisation of interest, lengthening of the repayment periods and waiving of penalty provisions. · Tax-back loan scheme for non-mining corporates. To provide breathing room for cashflow-constrained businesses in the non-mining sectors who are taxpayers, such businesses can borrow an amount equal to 1/12th of their tax payment in the previous tax year, to be repaid after one year.

The interest rate will be favourably low at the prime lending rate less

1%, on the back of the Government guarantee, capped at N$470 million. Applications will be made via the banks. · Relaxation of labour regulations to protect jobs. To avoid major retrenchments and business closures, employers including Government and business owners will be allowed to negotiate a temporary 20% reduction of salaries and wages during the crisis period, and 40% for the worsthit industries. The negotiations will be undertaken through a consultative process with employees and labour unions.

Support to households To support the households cope with reduced income, increased health related spending and other hardships due to the virus outbreak, the following measures are proposed: · An Emergency Income Grant, to support those employees who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic and its fallout.

This is a once-off payment of N$750 to people who have lost their jobs, either in the informal or in the formal sector, essentially to stave off the vulnerabilities which arise. Applications may

be made by Namibians citizens between 18 and 60 years of age who have lost their jobs and not receiving any other social grants. Payment will be made by Government in collaboration with the Social Security Commission within 7 days utilising the banking sector's ATM infrastructure.

The total amount for this measure is N$562 million, based on the national poverty line of

about N$250 per person per week. · Tax-back loan scheme for tax registered and tax paying (PAYE) employees and selfemployed individual persons who have lost income or part thereof.

To provide breathing room for cash flow constrained individuals who are taxpayers, they can borrow an amount equal to 1/12th of their tax payment in the previous tax year, to be

repaid after one year.

The interest rate will be favourably low at the prime lending rate less 1% on the back of a Government guarantee.

The total guarantee is capped at the maximum of N$1.1 billion, based on the PAYE tax register and the potential loan size. The Government, in collaboration with the banking institutions may institute statutory and administrative measures to

enhance compliance with loan obligations. · Water subsidy during lockdowns.

Government will ensure that water points are kept open without a need for water cards during lockdowns, through NamWater and Local Authorities that will subsidize this critical service. The purpose of the First lockdown, this amount is estimated at about N$10.0 million.

Aochamub, a former spokesperson for President Hage Geingob, was the first Namibian to contract the virus outside Namibia's borders.

“I am safely home from hospital having avoided contracting Covid-19”, the ambassador said.

Covid-19 is the medical condition stemming from the novel Coronavirus contraction.

Only a small percentage of people infected with the novel Coronavirus end up contracting Covid-19 which has so

far killed approximately 45 000 people worldwide in the past weeks.

Aochamub thanked everyone who wished him well during this trying period, who prayed for him and sent all the get-well-soon messages. “I am forever grateful and humbled”, he concluded.

France counts among Europe's worst hit countries after Italy and Spain. More than 50 000 people were infected, the death toll is more than 3 500. The good news not often mentioned is that close to 10 000 if not more people recovered in France.

Confirmed affected cases in Namibia to date still stand at 14 [if taken into account the number 13 is skipped as a worldwide custom to exclude

the number 13 as it is associated with bad luck]. That means Namibia stands at 13 cases, but it is numbered as 14.

Ich stand gestern Morgen um 6h45 in einer langen Warteschlange vor Pick und Pay, das um 7h000 Uhr öffnet.

Da ich bereits graue Haare habe, gehöre ich zu den Senioren, denen immer der Vortritt gelassen wird, so auch hier. Plötzlich läuft ein junger Mann an uns älteren Herrschaften vorbei und versucht sich vorzudrängeln.

Tante Betsie aus dem Altersheim war das einer zu viel, und sie haute dem Jüngling energisch mit ihrem Sonnenschirm bis nach hinten in die Schlange zurück. Der Kerl wagte es doch tatsächlich ein zweites Mal, an uns vorbeizuschleichen.

Diesmal platzte Outoppie Joggie der Kragen, schlug ihm so fest er konnte auf die Brust und schubste ihn wieder nach hinten.

Kaum zu glauben, aber wahr, er wagt es ein drittes Mal an den Alten vorbei. Und dies-

Leberreime kann. Wir haben wohl selten über Gesundheit nachgedacht. Nun haben wir genügend Zeit, darüber nachzudenken. Wie selbstverständlich nehmen wir unser Wohlbefinden an. Wohlbefinden heißt nun, ein zu Hause zu haben, wenn man sich nicht frei bewegen darf, wenn es genug Lebensmittel gibt und wo man in Ruhe sein darf.

Für manche Familien wird es schwer sein, 24 Stunden verträglich zusammen zu sein.

Doch können Werte wieder entdeckt werden, die uns verloren gingen: Ein Gespräch zu führen, ohne Hast, Zärtlichkeit zu zeigen, ohne Flüchtigkeit, Rücksicht zu nehmen, miteinander zu lachen, ohne hämisch zu sein, Fotoalben neu zu entdecken und Dankbarkeit zu erweisen. Seit

nicht in der Lage sein, alles zu kaufen, was man haben möchte.

Die Welt wird bescheidener werden. Es werden dann nicht mehr Tonnen Lebensmittel vernichtet, Äpfel werden dann nicht mehr unter den Bäumen liegen und verkommen, weil niemand sie pflückt, die Frauen werden wieder selber kochen und nicht vorgekochte Mahlzeiten, in Plastik verpackt, kaufen, und Kleidung wird auch drei Jahre oder länger getragen.

Die Menschen der südlichen Halbkugel werden am schwersten betroffen sein. Doch sind sie fröhlich und weniger besorgt. Denken wir daran.

Ich grüsse mit dem neuen Gruss: ‘Bleib gesund’!

Eva-Maria Walter aus Walvis Bay

1. Die Leber ist von keinem Hecht, sie ist von einem Hund, / und weil das so ‘ne Hundsart ist, trägt er sie nun im Mund!

2. Die Leber ist von keinem Hecht, sie ist v o m A t t e n t ä t e r. / Was ich euch damit sagen möcht’, berichte ich euch später.

3. Die Leber ist von keinem Hecht, sie ist von einem Dänen, / er gab sie gar nicht gerne her, das wollt` ich noch erwähnen.

4. Die Leber ist von keinem Hecht, sie ist von einem Säufer, / obwohl sie schon marode war, war er ein guter Läufer.

mal schreit er los: “Ihr verdammten Grauköpfe, wenn ihr das jetzt noch einmal mit mir macht, dann steht ihr noch bis heute Abend hier in der War-

teschlange. Es ist echt eure eigene Schuld, wenn ihr mich nicht vorbeilasst, um endlich die Ladentür aufzuschließen.”

Worte der Woche

Man empfängt Menschen nach dem Kleide und entlässt sie nach dem Verstand.

Karl Simrock (1802 -1876), deutscher Dichter und Philologe aus Bonn.

Eine richtige Frau wirkt voll bekleidet auf einen Mann anziehender als ein nacktes Weib.

Romy Schneider (*1938 in Wien; † 1982 in Paris), deutsch-französische Schauspielerin und Synchronsprecherin.

Ohne Schnurrbart ist ein Mann nicht richtig angezogen.

Salvador Dali (1904 -1989), spanischer Maler, Grafiker, Schriftsteller und Bildhauer aus Katalonien

Wenn man nicht weiß, was man zu einer Gesellschaft anziehen soll, kommt man am besten als erste. Dann haben die anderen das Gefühl, falsch angezogen zu sein.

Dagmar Koller ( *1939 in Klagenfurt), österreichische Sängerin, Tänzerin und Schauspielerin.

Wozu Socken? Sie schaffen nur Löcher!

Albert Einstein (* 1879 - † 1955 in New Jersey, USA), deutscher Physiker mit Schweizer und US-amerikanischer Nationalität.

Ich war nicht wirklich nackt. Ich hatte nur keine Kleider an.

Josephine Baker (1906 in St. Louis, Missouri; † 1975 in Paris) eine Tänzerin, Sängerin und Schauspielerin.

An der Atlantikküste,in der Namibwüste

Traumort Husab

So weit wie möglich locker vom Höckerchen Furchterregender oder fröhlicher Lockdown, je nach Perspektive Liebe Küstenleser, da ich schon immer ein Typ von Mensch war, der sich darum bemüht, eher das halb volle als das halb leere Glas zu sehen, habe ich auch das Lockdown bisher in vollen Zügen genossen. Erst einmal habe ich meine Mutter zu mir geholt, da sie im Altersheim keinen Besuch mehr empfangen darf und ich nicht möchte, dass sie eventuell vor Einsamkeit stirbt. Und siehe da, plötzlich lebt man

Eine Anekdote von Erwin Sandelowsky, auf Farm Nordenburg gesammelt und fabriziert und in dem obigen Heflein veröffentlicht.

Als Leutnant von Bülow im Jahre 1890 den Befehl bekam, sich in Otjimbingwe in Südwestafrika bei Hauptmann von Francois zu melden, machte er sich im Januar 1891 von London aus nach Südafrika auf den Weg. Von Berlin mit der Bahn nach Rotterdam, von dort mit dem Fährschiff nach London, von dort per 300-TonnenDampfer "Trojan" nach Kapstadt, von dort mit Küstenboot Nautilus nach Walvis Bay, das damals englisch war, und dort erwartete ihn Unteroffizier Meiburg mit Krümperwagen. Sie fuhren an einem Vormittag ab und der Leutnant fragte den Unteroffizier:

"Wo werden wir heute abend sein?" - "Wir übernachten in Husab." Während der Wagen ihn hin- und herschaukelte, dachte der Leutnant: Naja, kleines Nest, meist Eingeborenenhütten und kleines Hotel für Europäer mit interessantem Ausblick auf afrikanische Landschaft, und träumte vor sich hin: Husab am Swakoprivier - ob das bis dorthin schiffbar ist? Am späten Nachmittag hielt das Fuhrwerk unter einem großen Anabaum.

"Warum halten Sie, Unteroffizier?" - "Wir sind in Husab." - "Wo ist Husab?" - "Hier, bei dem Anabaum, Herr Leutnant!" Das Gesicht des Gardeleutnants aus Berlin ist leider nicht fotografiert worden.

mit Hunden in der Ferne, ansonsten einen einsamen, heftig in die Pedalen tretenden Radler und drei Jogger.

Und mein Herz öffnete sich weit wie der Ozean mit dem befreienden Gefühl: “Die Erde gehört für einen Moment dir ganz allein.”

Und dann das Miterlebendürfen einer Situation weltweit, die irgendwann einmal als hoffentlich “einmalig” in die Annalen der Geschichte eingehen

Buch “Virus-Wahn” darauf aufmerksam macht, dass es zig Viren gibt, die krank machen und auch töten, dass wir sie aber nie ganz eindämmen werden können:“Viraleffekte soll man möglichst nicht behandeln, aber man behandelt sie, sodass man rechtlich abgesichert ist, wenn einer an dieser Behandlung stirbt. Und auch die Politiker wollen sich absichern.” Das ist nur ein kleiner Ansatz

von Medizinern, die nicht unbedingt dem Mainstream der Angst folgen, wurden inzwischen von einer unsichtbaren Macht, die im Gegensatz zu den Medizinern - nirgends ihr Gesicht zeigt, gesperrt. Warum - wenn wir in einer so freien Welt leben, die geradezu eine Unmenge von tatsächlicher Falschmeldungen wiederum zulässt?

Dann gibt es noch Dr Jaroslav Belsky aus Wien, der neun Jahre lang Medizin studierte, davon zwei Jahre in einem Molekularbiologischen Labor und nun als Zahnarzt praktiziert: “In den letzten fünf Monate sind 9500 Corona-Tote gemessen worden mit einem Test, über den wir später noch reden werden. In dem gleichen Zeitraum sind 300000 Menschen an Influenza bzw. an der Grippe gestorben.

Das heißt, man sieht bereits an den nackten Zahlen, dass da von der

ronazentriert agiert und das Lockdown die Wirtschaft lahmlegt, hat China, wo das welterschütternde Gogga sich zuerst zeigte, bereits angekündigt, dass es den Virus unter Kontrolle hat. Fabriken machen wieder Geschäfte, und nach dem aus der Corona-Angst erwachsenen Freifall der Börse hat der Generalsekretär der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas, Xi Jinping, europische und amerikanische Aktien der Schwerindustrie aufgekauft, von denen Europa, Amerika und im Grunde genommen die ganze Welt abhängig ist.

Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games 512 days away The Tokyo Olympic Games will start on 23 July 2021 and run to 8 August after being postponed for a year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The International Olympic Committee's (IOC) executive board recently made the decision and the Olympics will still be called Tokyo 2020 despite taking place in 2021.

The Paralympic Games, originally due to start on 24 August 2020, will now take place between 24 August and 5 September 2021.

IOC president Thomas Bach said: "I am confident that, working together with the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the Japanese Government and all our stakeholders, we can master this unprecedented challenge.

Bach added "Humankind currently finds itself in a dark tunnel. These Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 can be a light at the end of this tunnel."

International Paralympic Committee president Andrew Parsons added: "When the Paralympic Games do take place in Tokyo next year, they will be an extra-special display of humanity uniting as one, a global celebration of human resilience and a sensational showcase of sport.”

"With the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games 512 days away, the priority for all those involved in the Paralympic movement must be to focus on staying safe with their friends and family during this unprecedented and difficult time" said Parsons The decision to postpone both events was taken to protect the health of the athletes and everyone involved, and to support the containment of the Covid-19 virus.

Olympic organisers hope the delay will allow sufficient time to finish the qualification process which will follow the same mitigation measures planned for 2020.

It has previously been confirmed that all athletes already qualified and quota places already assigned will remain unchanged.

Tokyo 2020 organising committee president Yoshiro Mori said he had proposed the 23 July to 8 August timeframe to the IOC, and that Bach had agreed, following consultations with the international sports federations.

"A certain amount of time is required for the selection and qualification of athletes and for their training and preparation, and the consensus was that staging the rescheduled Games during the summer vacation in Japan would be preferable," Mori said.

It is the first time in the Olympic Games' 124-year modern history that they have been delayed, though they were cancelled altogether in 1916 because of World War One and again in 1940 and 1944 for World War Two. Cold War boycotts affected the summer Games in Moscow and Los Angeles in 1980 and 1984 respectively.

Sunglasses for The Eagles Rudi Bowe

Torga Optical sponsored Namibia's national cricket team, the Eagles, with sunglasses. Torga Optical Namibia is the official 'eyecare partner' of the Namibian National Cricket Team.

Vision is key to any high-performance sport and the Eagles are thankful for this sponsorship, as eye health is often part of human health forgotten or placed on the backburner of health priority.

Torga Optical not only sponsored sunglasses but also assists with eye testing for a two-year period over 2020 and 2021.

Johan Muller, the Chief Execute Officer of Cricket Namibia expressed his excitement over the partnership with Torga Optical Namibia. “We are extremely excited to partner with Jana and her team from Torga Optical, as it is a well-respected brand in Namibia and stands for quality products and good service.”

The Eagles will play a number of international tournaments over the span of the next two years and the need for quality eyecare plays a critical role in onfield performance.

Cricket is a full-day sport and played in the summer in Namibia. I want to encourage every young sportsmen and women to take care of their eyes. It is an important aspect if you plan a career in sports. Go for regular testing, use high quality eye products and protect your eyes from the sun. Torga Optical caters for all these needs and it is a trusted partner and trusted brand.

Jana Kotze, of Torga Optical Namibia expressed pride in the Torga Optical Namibia – Namibia National Cricket partnership. “We are incredibly proud to be partnering with Cricket Namibia for 2020 and 2021. That is taking care of the Eagles' visual needs. Vision as we know plays an important role in all sports disciplines.”

Kotze said she is looking forward working with the team and coaching staff.

She believes the Eagles are going from strength to strength should all be equal given the Coronavirus crisis, they have a great year ahead.

Joan Smith Secretary General of the NNOC

Olympics- and Commonwealth camp closely watches Covid-19 developments The Namibian National Olympic Committee (NNOC) and the Commonwealth Games Association (CGA) Executive Board considers very carefully the current situation in the country and around the world regarding the COVID – 19 pandemics.

As Olympic and Commonwealth family we should all draw on our commitment to being socially responsible sports movement and, where you can, we should extend our hands of friendship into our local communities to help others during this crisis, said Joan Smith, Secretary General of the NNOC. Smith added, “Through our words and actions, we can all continue to have a positive impact on people and communities in our beautiful country.”

The NNOC-CGA Executive Board appeal to all sports man and woman to: Follow the guidance and decisions of our Government. This is top priority.

Ensure that the spread of the Corona Virus is contained by cancelling or postponing events Competitions/ Meetings.

Where you are free to make further decisions we would recommend that you significantly reduce or prevent close interaction between your members and thus reduce the risk of the spread of the disease… and many of you have already taken this important step also.

We encourage the use of on-line tools and social media on the IOC website to ensure the global

sport community can continue to support each other. The tools on Athlete 365 actively share ideas to help our athletes remain fit and healthy in mind and body, and most of all connected.

This will also allow us all to promote some learning opportunities.

Share the information and ensure your athletes register on Athlete 365- it is an athlete community platform, where athletes and their entourage will find practical information on important aspects of an athlete's life, such as injury prevention, nutrition, financial management, relations with the media, etc.

With regards to the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games, the IOC President, Thomas Bach held several video conferences with NOC's of all five continents last week. The Africa meeting was held on Wednesday, March 18, 2020.

Smith ask all presidents of all National Federations to please continue to keep in touch via email with the Olympic House as they welcome hearing from you.

Smith said, “In the meantime, I hope that you and your families and friends within and beyond Sports are able to keep safe over this very unprecedented situation.”
